Imperial Junkyard, noonish

[can_be_more]

The Prowler, the X-wing and the TIE are joined in their return by a Leviathan transport pod. Somehow when picking a ship to steal, it allowed everyone to not have to cram uncomfortably into fighter ships, and it was something she already knew how to fly. She would have rathered fly the Prowler in after all of that, but she'd also rather they not all die because someone had to figure out how to fly something.

She lets everyone park the ships where they belong with a message over comms to meet at the junkyard if they felt the need. It isn't that she wants to talk, exactly, but she feels the need to check and make sure people are okay.

As soon as she's landed, not far from the Prowler, Aeryn lets the doors open so everyone can leave if they so wished, and then stepped outside herself.


[Mainly for John, Peter Parker, Isabel, Sam and Luke, though it is a public area. Ping in if you're around/want to, if not, yay handwaved exit/thank you! Also, if you didn't want to end up squished this trip, you can say you were in the transport pod.]

"Sorry if this changed your plans to do so," she asys, and she's still not looking directly at people yet.

"For you? Anything," Luke said, giving her a shy smile.

Aeryn manages a little smile in return and says, "Thank you. You did well, Luke."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke's smile brightened for just a second. "Thanks. Are you going to be all right? At some point, I mean."

She nods, and loves Luke just for that clarification. "I'll be fine," she assures him.

For the first time, Luke was very grateful he'd never known his parents. If they could be that cruel, he was happier with his memories of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.

"If you ever need anything," he began, knowing how lame it sounded but needing it said anyway, "let me know. I've learned how to juggle."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn almost laughs at that. "I'll definitely let you know if I need juggling," she says.

Luke's eyes sparkled, his personal mission of getting Aeryn to be happy for a moment accomplished. "I'm not exactly to glitter yet," he continued, "but Yoda loves to fly."

No, Yoda didn't.

[can_be_more]

"Really," she says, because she's petsat him enough to think the only thing Yoda loves is sitting there.

"Yup," Luke said, nodding. "I can tell."

No, he really couldn't.

"You'll have to race him with Vladdie," Aeryn suggests.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke burst out laughing. "Definitely," he said. "I'll let you know when we do it."

"I'm looking forward to it," she says, and can't believe she just said that.

When she notices John getting out of her Prowler luckily without crashing it, she says, "I'll see you in class?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Definitely," Luke said. "I should put Vader's ship back where I found it anyway." He grinned. "Think I should paint it pink?"

[can_be_more]

"No," Aeryn says emphatically.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke smiled. "That's more of a Han thing to do anyway," he decided. He gave Aeryn a small wave. "I'll see you soon."
